Quantum mechanics works beautifully in the realm of
elementary particles, atoms and molecules. But it seems to fail for
large objects, even though large objects are made of particles which by
themselves obey quantum mechanics. What is the reason for this failure?
Einstein's theory of relativity works beautifully for space-time and
large objects, but seems to fail in the realm of particles and atoms.
What is the reason for this failure?
A new theory shows that at the most basic level, nature does not
distinguish between space-time and matter. The quantum gravity of `atoms
of space-time-matter' gets rid of the above failures, and presents us
with a new picture for the origin and ultimate fate of the universe. |
